Defenseman Marek Zidlicky returns to Wild lineup

Zidlicky missed the past 21 games after separating his shoulder Dec. 29. It was his third time out with injury this season - he missed two games in October with a groin injury and four in November with a lower body injury.

Considered one of the team's top offensive defensemen, Zidlicky had four goals and 16 assists in 30 games before his latest injury.
